The beauty and sorrow of bullfighting in Spain | Ronda

I happened to see #FerdinandtheCuteBull on the plane back home. It perfectly resonated with my favorite city of the trip, Ronda. #Ronda, the world's first bullring. After listening to the tour guide, I realized how cruel bullfighting is. The bulls are first starved for several days to make their tempers bad. After being released, people on horseback stab them with barbed hooks, making them even more unhappy. This reduces their fighting power. Bulls are color blind. The red cape is just for the audience's attention. Finally, there's a fatal stab at the back of the head. The matador who receives the most cheers wins the bull's tail or ear, as these are the most tender parts. Poor bull, win or lose, they must die. #We ended up having an oxtail dinner 😂😂 Ronda is divided into the New Bridge and the Old Bridge areas. The naturally formed rock cliffs are awe-inspiring to see in person. The state-owned hotel on the slope... If I had the chance again, I'd love to spend a few more days in this town.
